Definitions
- Nitric oxide a free radical gas that is short-lived in biological materials, has recently been identified as a molecule that plays a fundamental role in biological processes.
- This research activity has created a demand for accurate and precise techniques for the detection and quantification of nitric oxide.
- This sensor is constructed by electrochemically depositing a metalloporphyrin, for example nickel-tetrakis (3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin, on a carbon electrode, followed by coating the porphyrin surface with a layer of NafionTM (Dupont). Direct measurements of nitric oxide with good sensitivity and selectivity have been reported using this porphyrinized electrode.
- a metalloporphyrin for example nickel-tetrakis (3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin
- Audebert et al. report a series of conducting polymers based on metal salen containing units comprising mononuclear copper II , cobalt 11 , nickel II and zinc II complexes. Under carefully chosen conditions, thick electroactive polymer deposits are formed upon electrochemical oxidation of the monomer in solution.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,549,851 discusses silicon containing polymers admixed with an amine compound.
- a highly conductive polymer composition is formed upon doping with an oxidizing dopant, typically iodine and ferric chloride. The composition has improved shapability and can form a highly conductive film or coating.
- One aspect of the present invention relates to a method for detecting the presence of an analyte by comparing the conductivity of a mixture containing an analyte and a sensor to the conductivity of the sensor in the absence of analyte.
- the sensor of the present invention consists of a metal ion and a conducting polymer wherein the redox potential of the metal ion is similar to the redox potential of the conducting polymer.
- the presence of nitric oxide is detected by measuring the conducting change of a sensor comprising poly N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylidenimine) and cobalt. It is thought that binding of NO to the metal ion of the sensor causes the conductivity change.
- the poly N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylidenimine) cobalt sensor of the present invention is not adversely effected by the presence of water or oxygen.
- binding of NO to the sensor is reversible.
- this sensor or structurally similar sensors have excellent prospects as selective reversible NO detectors in aerobic aqueous environments.
- FIG. 1 depicts a synthesis of cobalt-salen complex 4.
- FIG. 2 depicts a synthesis of cobalt-salen complex 7.
- the present invention relates generally to the detection of an analyte by measuring the resistance of a sensor comprising a metal ion and a conducting polymer.
- the analyte is detected when binding of the analyte to the sensor causes a change in the resistivity of the sensor.
- a sensor for nitric oxide has been developed in response to the interest in determining NO levels in biological systems.
- the NO sensor of the present invention is constructed of a cobalt-containing salen polymer film. This polymer has been shown to exhibit unique electrical properties because the redox potential of the chelating ligand is very similar to the Co 2+/3+ redox potential.
- this sensor or structually similar sensors have excellent prospects as selective reversible NO detectors in aerobic aqueous environments.
- a resistance-based method such as shown here could be used for monitoring of bulk NO concentrations, and should allow for microelectrode sensors to be produced that can be used to map out signals used in intercellular signaling.
- Nitric oxide serves as an intercellular signaling agent in a diverse array of living systems. M. Feelish, J. S. Stamler, Eds. Methods in Nitric Oxide Research John Wiley and Sons: Chichester, England, 1996; M. Lancaster, Ed. Nitric Oxide: Principles and Actions Academic Press, 1996. This recognition has stimulated considerable interest in the real-time detection of nitric oxide. Y. Katayama, S. Nobuaki, M. Maeda Chem. Phys. Chem . 2001, 2, 655-661. This mode of detection would find application in medical technology because increased levels of nitric oxide are known to be associated with up-regulation of the immune system.
- the early stages of a respiratory infection e.g., SARS
- SARS may be detected by continously monitoring nitric oxide levels in the exhalate of an immune-compromised patient.
- a highly sensitive (ppm resolution), inexpensive NO sensor that conveys real-time measurements is ideal.
- the sensor In order to produce a real-time nitric oxide sensor, the sensor must exhibit specificity for NO and produce an easily detectable signal that responds to changes in the concentration of NO.
- Coordinatively unsaturated paramagnetic transition metal complexes are ideal candidates for recognizing (binding) nitric oxide, which has one unpaired electron in an antibonding orbital, because binding of NO to the transition metal complex influences the electrical properties (e.g., resistivity) of the complex.
- the metal When this redox-matching condition is met, the metal essentially provides additional electroactive pathways for transporting charge throughout the material. Hence, ligand binding events that produce changes in its redox potential can enhance or decrease the conductivity depending upon whether this process produces a better or worse match between the transition metal and the organic conducting polymer. Hence, this type of system appears to be ideally suited for nitric oxide detection.
- a method for the detection of nitric oxide has been developed that involves measuring the conductivity of a solution containing NO and a sensor comprising a cobalt metal ion and a conducting polymer. Exposure of the sensor to a 7 mM solution of NO produced an approximately 30% increase in conductivity. The sensor displayed a reversible response to NO as the conductivity returns to normal after 5 electrochemical cycles (100 mV/sec) in NO-free electrolyte. This result has been interpreted to mean that NO binding to the cobalt center was reversible. In addition, the sensor of the present invention has been found to be very well behaved in aqueous systems.
- One class of solid-state conducting materials is conducting polymers. These polymers typically include organic structures possessing a degree of unsaturation to allow electronic communication throughout a polymeric structure. Because polymers are synthesized from monomer components, the design of the conducting properties of a conducting polymer can be facilitated by engineering the monomer component to a desired specificity. Moreover, polymers containing both organic and metal ion components afford a larger number of variables over organic-based polymers through the incorporation of a diverse number of metal ions.
- the sensory polymer can be fabricated into an article containing another conducting element such as a carbon nanotube, carbon fibers, or gold particles. The system can be made to have a specific resistance due to the relative ratios of these different elements and exposure of the analyte to the polymer gives rise to a change in resistivity.
- the metal ion could in principle be any transition metal, actinide, or lanthanide that can undergo oxidation/reduction. However, as noted above, it is important that the redox potential of the metal ion be similar to that of the conducting material.
- a list of suitable metals for use in the NO sensors of the present invnetion includes cobalt, iron, copper, nickel, ruthenium, iridium, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, rhodium, and uranium. In certain preferred embodiments, the metal is cobalt.
- the analyte may be any molecule that binds to the sensor in such a way that the conductivity of the analyte-sensor complex is different than the conductivity of the sensor.
- the analyte could be in a solid, liquid, or gaseous physical state requiring only that the analyte be able to come into contact with the sensor for detection.
- the analyte could bind to the sensor through a vacant coordination site on the metal ion or to a portion of the conducting material.
- NO it has been proposed that binding of NO to the cobalt metal ion influences the conductivity of the sensor by several different methods.
- NO binding to the cobalt sensor creates a isoenergetic redox state that allows an additional mechanism for charge to transport through the system.
- a second possibility involves NO binding to the cobalt sensor resulting in a change in redox state from an isoenergetic one that is an integral part of the conduction pathway to one that is is not isoenergetic and hence is reduced (activated).
- NO binding to the cobalt sensor may liberate charge carriers in the sensor that are bound to a NO free cobalt sensor.
- NO binding to the cobalt sensor may result in the trapping of charge carriers with a NO bound cobalt sensor.
- suitable analytes for detection include NO, CO, CO 2 , O 2 , H 2 O 2 , and S(CH 3 ) 2 .
- the analyte is NO.
- the polymer structure was indirectly confirmed by scanning a number of related transition metal complexes of the methyl-terminated salen ligand, N,N′-ethylenebis(5-(5-methylthienyl)salicylidenimine), to the same polymerization potentials.
- the absence of any polymer deposition supported the proposed structure and similar results have been reported in studies concerning the oxidative polymerization of M(salen) complexes.
- Polymer 1 was prepared by polymerization of the corresponding monomer in 0.1 M Et 4 NPF 6 electrolyte solutions in order to determine whether cation transport through the film was affecting the electroactivity of the Co 2+/3+ redox wave. Kingsborough, R. P.; Swager, T. M. Adv. Mater . 1998, 14, 10. In this case, there was a significant enhancement of the Co 2+/3+ wave relative to the polymer-based waves, even in films sufficiently thick to connect the microelectrodes.
- This enhancement was attributed to increased transport of the smaller cation or an overall morphological difference between the films grown in different electrolytes that allows all of the cobalt centers to undergo reversible redox processes while in the insulating regime of the polymer backbone. Although the exact nature of this enhancement was not specified, these results indicate that the films of 1 were sensitive to the electrolyte used in synthesis of the film.

As can be seen in Scheme 4a, the redox potential of the polymer 8 backbone has been significantly lowered to almost perfectly coincide with the Co 2+/3+ redox wave. Close inspection of the CV trace reveals that there are two redox waves seen at —0.11 V and 0.07 V, due to the Co 2+/3+ and polymer redox processes, respectively.
- polymer 8 displays two closely spaced peaks in its cyclic voltammogram.
- the peak centered at approximately ⁇ 0.1 V corresponds to the Co 2+/3+ couple and the peak at 0.05 V is assigned to the organic portion of the polymer.
- This assignment was previously confirmed by the fact that exposure to pyridine shifts the cobalt centered waves to less positive potentials while leaving the organic centered redox processes untouched.
- exposure to NO shifts the Co 2+/3+ couple to more positive potentials and effectively creates a better redox match with the organic centered electroactivity.
- the film rapidly returns to its original state upon placing it in fresh NO-free electrolyte.
- Polymer 8 has been found to be very well behaved in aqueous systems and we previously have shown that it also functions as a highly effect catalyst for oxygen reduction at more negative potentials. Kingsborough, R. P.; Swager, T. M. Chem. Mater . 2000, 12, 872-874. interesting in both aqueous and organic media we have found that the conductivity of polymer 8 is insensitive to oxygen concentration.

In certain embodiments, the sensor of the present invention consists of a complexing domain comprising a metal ion and a complexing agent and a conducting polymer, wherein the redox potential of the metal ion is similar to the redox potential of the conducting polymer. In one preferred embodiment, the presence of nitric oxide is detected by measuring the conducting change of a sensor comprising poly N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylidenimine) and cobalt.

Description
- Nitric oxide (NO), a free radical gas that is short-lived in biological materials, has recently been identified as a molecule that plays a fundamental role in biological processes. As a result, research into the physiology and pathology of nitric oxide has grown. This research activity has created a demand for accurate and precise techniques for the detection and quantification of nitric oxide.
- The use of spectrophotometry, chemilluminescence, and paramagnetic resonance methods for detecting nitric oxide in biology and medicine are well established. However, these techniques require that a sample of biological fluid, for example, the extracellular fluid in a tissue or the support buffer in a suspension of cells, must be analyzed removed from its biological context. Measurements made on such samples reflect nitric oxide concentration at a single time, and when assembled in a series make a discontinuous record. Therefore, these methods are not ideal for following rapid processes because changes in nitric oxide concentration are not observed if they occur between sampling points. Moreover, the ability to follow rapid changes in NO concentration is important because nitric oxide is unstable in the presence of oxygen, persisting only a few minutes or seconds in biological systems.
- Recently, electrodes for the direct electrochemical detection of nitric oxide have been developed. The earliest of these electrodes, known colloquially as the “Shibuki electrode”, uses a Pt electrode to oxidize nitric oxide at 800 mV and to register the resulting oxidation current. See K. ShibukiNeuroscience Research 1990, 9, 69-76. This sensor is of limited utility because it is subject to the destructive buildup of oxidation products from nitric oxide within the enclosed electrolyte surrounding the Pt electrode. More recently, a method has become available that uses a metalloporphyrin membrane. See T. Malinski et al. Nature, 1992, 358, 676-677; T. Malinski et al, “Nitric Oxide Measurement by Electrochemical Methods”, Methods in Nitric Oxide Research, chapter 22 (1996); and Published International Patent Application No. WO 93/21518. This sensor is constructed by electrochemically depositing a metalloporphyrin, for example nickel-tetrakis (3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin, on a carbon electrode, followed by coating the porphyrin surface with a layer of Nafion™ (Dupont). Direct measurements of nitric oxide with good sensitivity and selectivity have been reported using this porphyrinized electrode. Its disadvantages include the difficulty in handling the fragile micron-diameter carbon fibers, which require manipulation under a microscope with cold illumination (or under water) to eliminate thermal convection currents that disturb the fibers. In another instance, a biochemically-modified electrode has also been proposed that employs Cytochrome C as a nitric oxide sensor. See K. Miki et al. J. Electroanal. Chem., 1993, 6, 703-705. Other methods for nitric oxide detection include using electrodes constructed of gold or platinum (See F. Pariente et al. J. Electroanal. Chem, 1994, 379, 191-197 and F. Bedioui et al. J. Electroanal. Chem, 1994, 377, 295-298) and a porphyrinic-based platinum-iridium electrode. See K. Ichimori et al, “Practical nitric oxide measurement employing a nitric oxide-selective electrode”, Ref. Sci. Instrum., 65 (8) August 1994 and H. Miyoshi, FEBS Letters, 1994, 345, 47-49.
- Recent developments in solid state materials technology indicates that these materials may serve a useful role as sensory devices for determining the presence of a variety of analytes. One class of potentially useful solid state materials is conducting polymers. These polymers typically include organic structures possessing a degree of unsaturation to allow electronic communication throughout a polymeric structure. Because polymers in general are synthesized from monomer components, the design of the conducting properties of a conducting polymer can be facilitated by engineering the monomer component to a desired specificity. Moreover, polymers containing both organic and metal ion components afford a larger number of variables over organic-based polymers through the incorporation of a diverse number of metal ions.
- A variety of conducting polymers of different compositions and physical properties have been reported. Zotti et al. disclosed in situ conductivity of some polypyrroles and polythiophenes redox modified with pendant ferrocene groups. It was found that the electron hopping rate through the conductive polymer backbone is increased by a decrease of the ferrocene backbone distance and by conjugation of ferrocene with the backbone itself. Zotti et al.Chem. Mater. 1995, 7, 2309. Cameron et al. described a benzimidazole-based conjugated polymer with coordinated [Ru(bpy)2]2+ that provides direct electronic communication between the ruthenium complex and the polymer. Cameron et al. Chem. Commun. 1997, 303. Audebert et al. report a series of conducting polymers based on metal salen containing units comprising mononuclear copperII, cobalt11, nickelII and zincII complexes. Under carefully chosen conditions, thick electroactive polymer deposits are formed upon electrochemical oxidation of the monomer in solution. Audebert et al. New. J. Chem. 1992, 16, 697. U.S. Pat. No. 5,549,851 discusses silicon containing polymers admixed with an amine compound. A highly conductive polymer composition is formed upon doping with an oxidizing dopant, typically iodine and ferric chloride. The composition has improved shapability and can form a highly conductive film or coating.
- The integration of receptors into conducting polymer frameworks has been shown to produce materials which provide changes in physical characteristics upon binding of targeted analytes. Devynck et al. described a material containing Co(III) porphyrin sites. Variations in the Co(III)/Co(II) redox couple were observed upon exposure to pyridine and with changing pyridine concentrations. U.S. Pat. No. 4,992,244 discloses a chemical microsensor fabricated using Langmuir-Blodgett techniques. The chemical microsensor was a film based on dithiolene transition metal complexes that displayed differing degrees of current changes upon exposure to varying concentrations of a gas or vapor.
- Despite numerous advances in polymeric materials as chemoresistive and sensory devices, there still remains a need to develop sensitive, selective sensors that measure analyte concentration in real time. One promising approach to developing such a sensor is through transition-metal containing conducting polymers. In certain instances, these materials are sensitive to small molecules, such as NO, and hence could be used in detection devices.
- One aspect of the present invention relates to a method for detecting the presence of an analyte by comparing the conductivity of a mixture containing an analyte and a sensor to the conductivity of the sensor in the absence of analyte. The sensor of the present invention consists of a metal ion and a conducting polymer wherein the redox potential of the metal ion is similar to the redox potential of the conducting polymer. In one preferred embodiment, the presence of nitric oxide is detected by measuring the conducting change of a sensor comprising poly N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylidenimine) and cobalt. It is thought that binding of NO to the metal ion of the sensor causes the conductivity change. The poly N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylidenimine) cobalt sensor of the present invention is not adversely effected by the presence of water or oxygen. In addition, binding of NO to the sensor is reversible. As a result, this sensor or structurally similar sensors have excellent prospects as selective reversible NO detectors in aerobic aqueous environments.

- The invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying examples, in which certain preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
- Overview
- The present invention relates generally to the detection of an analyte by measuring the resistance of a sensor comprising a metal ion and a conducting polymer. The analyte is detected when binding of the analyte to the sensor causes a change in the resistivity of the sensor. In the present invention, a sensor for nitric oxide has been developed in response to the interest in determining NO levels in biological systems. The NO sensor of the present invention is constructed of a cobalt-containing salen polymer film. This polymer has been shown to exhibit unique electrical properties because the redox potential of the chelating ligand is very similar to the Co2+/3+ redox potential. Exposure of the sensor to NO in acetonitrile was shown to shift the Co2+/3+ couple to more positive potentials in the cyclic voltammogram indicating that binding of NO to the sensor creates a better redox match with the organic centered electroactivity. In addition, the film rapidly returns to its original state when placed in a fresh NO-free electrolyte solution. Similar exposure of the sensor to a 7 mM solution of NO in acetonitrile produced an approximately 30% increase in conductivity and the response was reversible because the conductivity returned to normal after 5 electrochemical cycles (100 mV/sec) in a NO-free electrolyte. Additional studies have revealed that the sensor performs well in aqeous media and is not effected by oxygen concentration. As a result, this sensor or structually similar sensors have excellent prospects as selective reversible NO detectors in aerobic aqueous environments. A resistance-based method such as shown here could be used for monitoring of bulk NO concentrations, and should allow for microelectrode sensors to be produced that can be used to map out signals used in intercellular signaling.
- Overview of a Preferred Embodiment
- Nitric oxide (NO) serves as an intercellular signaling agent in a diverse array of living systems. M. Feelish, J. S. Stamler, Eds.Methods in Nitric Oxide Research John Wiley and Sons: Chichester, England, 1996; M. Lancaster, Ed. Nitric Oxide: Principles and Actions Academic Press, 1996. This recognition has stimulated considerable interest in the real-time detection of nitric oxide. Y. Katayama, S. Nobuaki, M. Maeda Chem. Phys. Chem. 2001, 2, 655-661. This mode of detection would find application in medical technology because increased levels of nitric oxide are known to be associated with up-regulation of the immune system. Thus, it is concievable that the early stages of a respiratory infection, e.g., SARS, may be detected by continously monitoring nitric oxide levels in the exhalate of an immune-compromised patient. C.
Bogdan Nature Immunoloogy 2001, 2, 907-916. - A highly sensitive (ppm resolution), inexpensive NO sensor that conveys real-time measurements is ideal. In order to produce a real-time nitric oxide sensor, the sensor must exhibit specificity for NO and produce an easily detectable signal that responds to changes in the concentration of NO. Coordinatively unsaturated paramagnetic transition metal complexes are ideal candidates for recognizing (binding) nitric oxide, which has one unpaired electron in an antibonding orbital, because binding of NO to the transition metal complex influences the electrical properties (e.g., resistivity) of the complex.
- In order to produce a resistance change in response to a metal-nitric oxide binding event, a system was designed, wherein the conductivity of the sensor intimately involves a transition metal ion. Pertinently, we have previously demonstrated that metal centers contribute to the electronic transport in conducting organic polymers when the redox activity of the metal center is coincident with that of an organic conducting polymer in its low resistance state. Kingsborough, K. P; Swager, T. M.Adv. Mater. 1998, 14, 1100-1104 and Zhu, S. S.; Swager, T. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 12568-12577. When this redox-matching condition is met, the metal essentially provides additional electroactive pathways for transporting charge throughout the material. Hence, ligand binding events that produce changes in its redox potential can enhance or decrease the conductivity depending upon whether this process produces a better or worse match between the transition metal and the organic conducting polymer. Hence, this type of system appears to be ideally suited for nitric oxide detection.
- A method for the detection of nitric oxide has been developed that involves measuring the conductivity of a solution containing NO and a sensor comprising a cobalt metal ion and a conducting polymer. Exposure of the sensor to a 7 mM solution of NO produced an approximately 30% increase in conductivity. The sensor displayed a reversible response to NO as the conductivity returns to normal after 5 electrochemical cycles (100 mV/sec) in NO-free electrolyte. This result has been interpreted to mean that NO binding to the cobalt center was reversible. In addition, the sensor of the present invention has been found to be very well behaved in aqueous systems. Interestingly, it has been found that the conductivity of the sensor is insensitive to oxygen concentration in both aqueous and organic media. As a result, this sensor or struturally similar sensors have excellent prospects to function as selective, reversible NO detectors in aerobic aqueous environments. A resistance-based method, such as dislcosed herein, will be useful for the monitoring of bulk NO concentrations. Further, this technology allows for microelectrode sensors to be produced that can be used to map out signals used in intercellular signaling.
- Conducting Materials
- One class of solid-state conducting materials is conducting polymers. These polymers typically include organic structures possessing a degree of unsaturation to allow electronic communication throughout a polymeric structure. Because polymers are synthesized from monomer components, the design of the conducting properties of a conducting polymer can be facilitated by engineering the monomer component to a desired specificity. Moreover, polymers containing both organic and metal ion components afford a larger number of variables over organic-based polymers through the incorporation of a diverse number of metal ions. The sensory polymer can be fabricated into an article containing another conducting element such as a carbon nanotube, carbon fibers, or gold particles. The system can be made to have a specific resistance due to the relative ratios of these different elements and exposure of the analyte to the polymer gives rise to a change in resistivity.
- Polymers based on transition-metal-containing N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylidenimine) (salen) complexes have been previously prepared by the oxidative polymerization of monomeric M(salen) complexes. L. A. Hoferkamp, K. A. GoldsbyChem. Mater. 1989, 1, 348 and P. Audebert, P. Capdeville, M. Maumy New J. Chem. 1992, 16, 697. However, the majority of these polymers displayed ligand-based redox processes at high potentials that were considerably removed from the expected metal-based electroactivity. J. L. Reddinger, J. R. Reynolds Chem. Mater. 1998, 10, 3 and J. L. Reddinger, J. R. Reynolds Chem. Mater. 1998, 10. 1236. These films generally lacked metal-centered electroactivity. However, thin Co(salen) films did display redox processes attributed to the Co2+/3+ couple that diminished as the films became progressively thicker. More recently, conducting polymers have been investigated that incorporate metal centers as part of the conduction pathway and tightly couple the conductivity to the redox characteristics of the metal center. Kingsborough, K. P.; Swager, T. M. Adv. Mater. 1998, 4, 10. It is believed that an organic polymer redox potential that is the same or below that of the metal center should create materials with enhanced electron mobilities, and thereby form optimized sensory and catalytic materials. Proof of this concept can be found in the above mentioned report by Swager wherein tuning the redox potential of the organic polymeric backbone to similar to that of the Co2+/3+ redox potential resulted in enhanced electroactivity of cobalt centers. The intimate coupling of the metal and polymer in the conduction process can impart sensitivity to specific analytes, and it has been shown that Lewis bases, such as pyridine and substituted pyridines, affect the polymers' conductivity. Complexing agents such as optionally substituted phthalocyanines and porphyrins are logical alternatives to N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylidenimine).
- Metal Ion
- The metal ion could in principle be any transition metal, actinide, or lanthanide that can undergo oxidation/reduction. However, as noted above, it is important that the redox potential of the metal ion be similar to that of the conducting material. A list of suitable metals for use in the NO sensors of the present invnetion includes cobalt, iron, copper, nickel, ruthenium, iridium, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, rhodium, and uranium. In certain preferred embodiments, the metal is cobalt.
- Analyte
- The analyte may be any molecule that binds to the sensor in such a way that the conductivity of the analyte-sensor complex is different than the conductivity of the sensor. The analyte could be in a solid, liquid, or gaseous physical state requiring only that the analyte be able to come into contact with the sensor for detection. The analyte could bind to the sensor through a vacant coordination site on the metal ion or to a portion of the conducting material. In the case of NO, it has been proposed that binding of NO to the cobalt metal ion influences the conductivity of the sensor by several different methods. In a first possibility, NO binding to the cobalt sensor creates a isoenergetic redox state that allows an additional mechanism for charge to transport through the system. A second possibility involves NO binding to the cobalt sensor resulting in a change in redox state from an isoenergetic one that is an integral part of the conduction pathway to one that is is not isoenergetic and hence is reduced (activated). Alternatively, NO binding to the cobalt sensor may liberate charge carriers in the sensor that are bound to a NO free cobalt sensor. However, NO binding to the cobalt sensor may result in the trapping of charge carriers with a NO bound cobalt sensor. In light of the many potential modes by which the analyte may influence the conductivity of the sensor, it is likely that the mode of action will be different for each analyte and involve a combination of factors. However, suitable analytes for detection include NO, CO, CO2, O2, H2O2, and S(CH3)2. In preferred embodiments, the analyte is NO.
- Characterization of Metal-Containing Conducting Polymers by Cyclic Voltammetry
-
- To account for the decreased electroactivity of the cobalt center in the thick films relative to the thin ones, it has been postulated that when the polymer is in the reduced state it effectively acts as an insulator, preventing the Co2+/3+ redox process from occurring in a majority of the polymer structure. Those centers being oxidized or reduced are most likely very close to the electrode surface. It is believed that the remaining cobalt centers are irreversibly oxidized to Co3+ during the polymerization process while the polymer is in its oxidized form, as it is more positive than the Co2+/3+ redox couple. This phenomenon has also been observed by Horwitz and Murray. C. P. Horwitz, R. W. Murray, Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst. 1988, 160, 389.
- Polymer 1 was prepared by polymerization of the corresponding monomer in 0.1 M Et4NPF6 electrolyte solutions in order to determine whether cation transport through the film was affecting the electroactivity of the Co2+/3+ redox wave. Kingsborough, R. P.; Swager, T. M. Adv. Mater. 1998, 14, 10. In this case, there was a significant enhancement of the Co2+/3+ wave relative to the polymer-based waves, even in films sufficiently thick to connect the microelectrodes. This enhancement was attributed to increased transport of the smaller cation or an overall morphological difference between the films grown in different electrolytes that allows all of the cobalt centers to undergo reversible redox processes while in the insulating regime of the polymer backbone. Although the exact nature of this enhancement was not specified, these results indicate that the films of 1 were sensitive to the electrolyte used in synthesis of the film.
- Nitric Oxide Detectors as Medical Devices
- Several medical devices are commercially available for the detection of nitric oxide. The ISO-NOPNM NanoSensor is a NO sensor that incorporates a composite graphite NO-sensing element, together with a built-in Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The surface of the sensing element is electrochemically ‘activated’ and then modified using a unique multi-layered NO-selective membrane. The response of the ISO-NOPNM following successive additions of nanomolar concentrations of NO. The response of the sensor was linear over the concentration range tested (0.5 nM to 1 μM) to successive additions of nanomolar concentrations of NO. One highly beneficial and intrinsic characteristic of the miniature size of the new NanoSensor, is that background noise of the sensor (which in most electrochemical sensors is proportional to their surface area) is greatly reduced to around just 0.5 pA. The ultra-low noise of the sensor enables an achievable lower detection limit of just 0.5 nM NO.
- The ISO-NOPMC is a microchip-based NO electrode. It has a detection limit of less than 0.3 nM (300 pM) NO and is a very sensitive electrochemical NO sensor. The ISO-NOPMC is based on technology that utilizes a microelectrode wafer deposited on a single silicon chip. This new electrode exhibits good performance in the detection of NO. See Zhang, et al. (2000) “Integrated microchip NO sensor with enhanced sensitivity and selectivity.” Nitric Oxide, 4:37, 278. The ISO-NOPMC's response (observed as peaks in the trace) following successive additions of 1.5 nM NO. ISO-NOPMC exhibits stable performance in sensitivity over the temperature ranges 20° C. to 40° C. and is particularly suited for real-time in situ monitoring of NO release in cell cultures and other similar applications where ultra-low detection of NO is required.

The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 16 h, over which time the reaction color changed from light yellow to dark red. The reaction was cooled, diluted with Et2O and washed with dilute NH4Cl (4×150 mL). The organic layer was collected and filtered through a short silica pad to yield a yellow filtrate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford a gummy yellow solid, which was transferred to a frit and washed with hexanes. The yellow solid was dried in vacuo to afford 1.895 g (9.28 mmol, 66%) of a yellow powder (mp 102-103° C.). 1H NMR (250 MHz, CDCl3) δ 11.01 (s, 1H), 9.96 (s, 1H), 7.80-7.76 (m, 2H), 7.29-7.24 (m, 2H), 7.09 (dd, 1H, J=3.8 and 5.1 Hz), 7.04 (dd, 1H, J=2.5 and 7.0 Hz). 13C NMR (62 MHz, CDCl3) δ 196.5, 161.1, 142.7, 134.7, 130.8, 128.3, 127.1, 124.8, 123.0, 120.8, 118.4.

- Cobalt salen polymer 1: Thin films of polymer 1 were obtained by oxidative deposition on platinum electrodes from a saturated monomer solution (4 ca. 0.1 mM) in 0.1 M Bu4NPF6/MeCN by scanning between −0.75 V and 0.85 V under a nitrogen atmosphere and all electrochemical data is referred to ferrocene/ferrocenium (Fc/Fc+). The cyclic voltammogram of a very thin film of polymer 1 reveals that the ratio of metal to organic-centered redox waves to be approximately 1:2 (Scheme 2a). The polymer structure was indirectly confirmed by scanning a number of related transition metal complexes of the methyl-terminated salen ligand, N,N′-ethylenebis(5-(5-methylthienyl)salicylidenimine), to the same polymerization potentials. The absence of any polymer deposition supports the proposed structure and similar results have been reported in studies concerning the oxidative polymerization of M(salen) complexes. See L. A. Hoferkamp, K. A. Goldsby, Chem. Mater. 1989, 1, 348; K. A. Goldsby, J. K. Blaho, J. K. Hoferkamp, Polyhedron 1989, 8, 113; P. Audebert, P. Capdeville, M. Maumy, New J. Chem. 1991, 15, 235; C. E.

- Electrochemical Characterization of Polymer Solution
- All of the electrochemical experiments were performed in acetonitrile with 0.1 M TBAPF6 electrolyte. The procedure of Ford and coworkers was used to purify nitric oxide from a cylinder. Lorkovic, I. M.; Ford, P. C. Inorg. Chem. 2000, 39, 632. Infrared spectroscopy (1 atm NO in a 10 cm pathlength gas cell) was used to determine that the other nitrogen oxides had been completely removed. The purified NO was collected in a acetonitrile solution ([NO]≈7 mM) and its relative concentration was determined using cyclic voltammetry (E°=0.867 V vs. Fc/Fc+, 0.1 M TBAPF6).

- Consistent with our redox matching model the improved overlap between the cobalt and the organic ligand's electroactivity enhances the materials conductivity.
Scheme 5 shows measurements of the relative conductivity of thin films deposited on an array of interdigitated microelectrodes. These devices are effectively electrochemical transistors with the applied electrochemical potential functioning as the gate voltage and the current flowing between the source and drain electrodes is directly proportional to the conductivity. G. P. Kittlesen, H. S. White, M. S. Wrighton, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1984, 106, 7389. We have previously found Polymer 8 to display a peak conductivity of 40 S/cm. As can be seen inScheme 5, exposure of a microelectrochemical transistor to a 7 mM NO solution produces approximately 30% increase in conductivity. The sensor displays a highly reversible response and as shown in Scheme 2b the conductivity returns to normal after 5 electrochemical cycles (100 mV/sec) in NO-free electrolyte. As a result, the NO binding to the cobalt center is highly reversible. - Polymer 8 has been found to be very well behaved in aqueous systems and we previously have shown that it also functions as a highly effect catalyst for oxygen reduction at more negative potentials. Kingsborough, R. P.; Swager, T. M.Chem. Mater. 2000, 12, 872-874. Interesting in both aqueous and organic media we have found that the conductivity of polymer 8 is insensitive to oxygen concentration.
